I've been in salt for 2 years and 1 month!  :) 

Looks like we have a lot of experience on this board!  Between a shop owner and the rest of us we have about 35 years so far!  (in salt that is)  :D

always had fish tanks growing up so I guess mid 70's here as well but they were just full of goldfish.  I think I was the king of the goldfish toss at carnivals where you throw a ping-pong ball into a cup to win a fish :)

In 91 is when I tried Chiclids (sp) when I was at OSU.  Then in 92 I switched to saltwater which is what I have had ever since :)
